Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Essential Everyday Protein Pancake Mix scores 87/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Essential Everyday Protein Pancake Mix lists 12 ingredients, starting with Whole Wheat Flour, Wheat Protein Isolate, Whole Grain Oat Flour, Nonfat Dry Milk and Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 87/100 Essential Everyday Protein Pancake Mix sits in our top band, among the better baking ingredients we have scored. A higher-scoring option in baking ingredients is King Arthur Baking Company Organic Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, 5 lb at 100/100.
